It was touch and a go for a few moments as a FlyBe plane arriving into the Leeds Bradford Airport in England was caught in powerful crosswinds.

Video shows the plane approaching the runway at airport - Britain's highest - almost sideways.

Luckily for all involved the pilot was able to keep the aircraft on track, making a safe landing in the high winds.

"Taking off and landing in strong and gusty winds is considered all in a day's work." a Flybe spokesperson told The Telegraph.

"Our pilots are highly trained and have the necessary skills, training and procedures required to assess and make the required operational decisions to conduct a safe flight in such adverse weather conditions."
